Do EVs vary in how quickly they can charge? TheDriven

An article that initially says the Taycan can charge at 250kw like Tesla long range, skipping the 270kw actual. But then later it has the quote I had seen several times before but not in the last few months.

So where are we in this battle? The Porsche Taycan (along with Long Range Tesla models) can already charge at 250kW DC, and Porsche will soon announce the Taycan can charge at 350kW. Rivian will likely be the next to 350kW when they release in 2021 or 2022, then Ford with their Rivian-based models, etc, etc.

Yes, the rate at which the vehicle charges is variable. As the battery becomes fuller, the charge rate will decrease. Each car will have a theoretical maximum based on the hardware installed, but an owner would only see those huge numbers when at a sufficiently low charge.

Agree @dryii but at least the Taycan can do 27kW0 to 30% and 200kW to 37% then 150kW all the way to 76%.
